Chapter 55 The lying child has no candy
"What are you going to do?" Chen Guifang stared at Shang Wan warily, fearing that Shang Wan would suddenly hurt someone.
Erya timidly hugged her mother's neck tightly, lowered her head, and did not dare to look directly into Shang Wan's eyes.
"Don't be afraid, I just want to ask this young witness a few questions." Shang Wan reached out and lifted Erya's chin, looking directly into the little girl's evasive eyes.
Erya only felt that the beautiful aunt in front of her frightened her, and a layer of moisture gradually appeared in her eyes.
"If you want to ask, just ask me, why do you threaten a child?" Lin Jianshan was worried that Erya would do something bad and didn't want Shang Wan to have contact with Erya.
"Are you a witness?" Shang Wan glanced at him coldly, "Why don't you just stay aside?"
Lin Jianshan was frightened by Shang Wan's eyes. He clenched his fists and glared at Erya secretly. The little girl shrank her neck in fright, tears were about to fall, and she looked pitiful.
"I don't know who is threatening the children." Shang Wan blocked Lin Jianshan's view of Erya, turned his wrist, and like a magic trick, three candies appeared in his palm.
With a smile on her face, she asked softly: "Erya, do you want some candy?"
The sugar is also brought from the Lu family. It is not low-quality sugar with no sweetness, but sugar sold at a high price in the sugar shop. When you get closer, you can smell a sweet aroma mixed with fruity aroma.
Although the Lin family is a wealthy family in the village, candy is expensive and they are reluctant to buy it for their children. Even if they buy it, Mrs. Liu will not let them touch it and give it to Tiedan.
Eyes fixed on the candy in Shang Wan's hand, Erya tried hard to suck in her red nose, the word "greedy" written directly on her face.
Shang Wan smiled slightly and said, "As long as Erya answers my question, these candies will belong to Erya."
"Really?" Erya raised her eyes and looked at Shang Wan timidly.
"Of course." Shang Wan simply pinched off a corner of the candy, crushed it into powder, and spread it on the little girl's white lips.
Erya stuck out her tongue and licked it, her eyes suddenly lit up, it was so sweet!
Suddenly she looked at the candy more eagerly, her eyes fixed on it, and she couldn't help but swallow.
Shang Wan felt that the heat was almost done, so he asked with a smile: "Erya, after everyone at home went out this morning, did Tiedan play with you?"
"Yes." Erya nodded her little head.
"So good." Shang Wan gave her a candy and watched her take it before asking, "How long have Tiedan been playing with you?"
These questions had nothing to do with what the uncle said. Erya answered happily, "For a little while."
After saying that, she stared at the two candies left in Shang Wan's hand. Seeing that Shang Wan had no intention of giving them to her, she looked up at Shang Wan in confusion.
Shang Wan held the candy and continued to ask: "Why did Tiedan only play with you for a short time?"
"Brother Tiedan is out."
"Where has he gone?" Shang Wan asked while passing the candy in front of Erya.
The little girl's eyes were full of candy and she answered obediently, "I don't know, it was my uncle who asked Brother Tiedan to go out. Brother Tiedan was still holding a red one..."
"Erya!" Lin Jianshan shouted sharply, which made Erya's body tremble in fright. He tightly grasped Chen Guifang's skirt with his little hands, biting his lips, tears falling down.
Shang Wan turned around and looked at Lin Jianshan, "You didn't even let Erya finish speaking. Are you worried that everyone won't see that you feel guilty?"
"Who feels guilty?" Lin Jianshan straightened his back, "You are just delaying time by asking these questions, you... ugh!"
The tall body fell limply to the ground. Shang Wan took back his hand and smiled very kindly in the face of everyone's surprised eyes.
"It's too noisy, let him quiet down for a while. Don't worry, everyone, I'll be gentle, he will wake up in a quarter of an hour at most." Everyone: "..."
Lin Jianshui took two steps forward. Shang Wan looked at him and turned his wrist slightly, "You also want to be quiet for a while?"
Lin Jianshui... retreated.
Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Zhou both turned their heads and glared at him, "useless hammer!"
Lin Jianshui: If you were to get beaten in the past, why didn’t you do it yourself?
Seeing Lin Jianshui's recognition, Shang Wan didn't really attack anyone without mercy. She turned around and wiped away Erya's tears, handed her a candy, and said comfortingly: "Good boy, he can't yell at you anymore, let's continue."
Erya held the candy tightly in her hand, looked at Lin Jianshan lying on the ground, and then at Shang Wan with a friendly smile, and nodded her head gently.
"Did you see Tiedan carrying something red and going out?"
"I don't know." Erya stretched out her little hand and gestured, "It's bulging, so big."
Shang Wan handed her the last candy, and when she reached out to take it, he asked, "When did Tiedan come back?"
Erya just took the candy and said casually: "I'm not back."
Shang Wan held the candy and stared at her, her voice turned cold, "Since Tiedan didn't come back, how did you see me kidnap people from the Lin family with your own eyes?"
Realizing that he had let slip, Erya's little hand holding the candy froze. He looked at Shang Wan in horror and hurriedly defended, "It's... Brother Tiedan is back."
Shang Wan threw the last candy into his mouth and glanced at Erya's other little hand holding the candy, "The lying child has no candy."
Erya immediately put her hands on her chest to protect the food, worried that Shang Wan would take back the candy he gave her, and stubbornly repeated: "He's back. Grandpa and uncle told him that Brother Tiedan is back."
"You mean, Tiedan didn't come back, but they asked you to lie and say you came back?" Shang Wan pretended to go to get the candy that Erya was guarding. Erya immediately hid the candy behind him, nodding and shaking his head randomly.
She wanted to listen to her grandfather and uncle, but she also wanted to eat sweets.
No matter how stupid Chen Guifang was, she understood. She subconsciously looked at Lin Jianshui, only to see Lin Jianshui staring at Lin Jianshan on the ground in a daze. She didn't know what he was thinking. Even Liu didn't react when he pinched him.
"I just said that my siblings are not like this." Madam Rong spat in the direction of the Lin family, "Teaching children to lie but not learning well, bah!"
The villagers were not stupid. After thinking about it in the morning, Lin Jianshan dug out a piece of red cloth and shouted that he had found money. After a little thought, they realized that the Lin family was framed.
Now the Lin family has committed crimes and lost their children, but they are relying on the scholar's wife. They are really shameless!
Many villagers had looks of disdain on their faces, and their impression of the Lin family dropped to rock bottom. They could not even remember why they elected Father Lin as the village chief in the first place.
Tomorrow I have to ask Dr. Yuan to prescribe two pairs of medicines for improving eyesight and clearing fire.
Zhang Er crossed his arms and looked at the Lin family with a mocking tone, "Your house is fine. It's just a waste of time. We guys don't have that much free time to accompany you."
Liu Cheng raised his hand to greet the villagers: "It's time to leave, let's go back to work. The more you work, the more you get."
"Come two people and follow me to fill the crack in the ground at the entrance of the village."
"Who wants to go up the mountain and chop down trees? Let's do it together."
"I want to go up the mountain. If anyone has an ax, please lend it to me."
The villagers left one after another. It was neither good nor bad for the Lin family to leave. The three women all looked at Lin Jianshui, waiting for him to make up his mind.
Lin Jianshui didn't know what to think, so he sat down and said, "Wait until brother wakes up before leaving."
